Scrapbooking is a fun way to remember special events. There are various digital scrapbooking options in addition to traditional scrapbooking; but it all comes down to creating a special memory out of your photographs, complete with captions and descriptions of your experiences.

When composing a sports picture, leave some room for the action. For instance, if a runner is going left to right, leave more room on the right side of the frame for him/her to run into. This will make a big difference on the impact of the image.

Try using a preset or custom white balance in a stadium or indoor arena. Because light often is different at indoor venues, the best way to get optimal color is to create a unique white balance, which is what the preset does. Cameras vary in how to accomplish that so check your manual.

A panorama can help you capture the breadth of a great vista. With a COOLPIX camera, try the panorama scene mode or panorama assist mode. Check your camera’s manual to see which mode your specific camera has. This will help you with overlap as you shoot your sequence of images.

Don’t let telephone poles or trees sprout out of your subject’s head. Check the background carefully. Look over your subject’s shoulder to see whether any poles, trees or even cars are in the background. Sometimes simply moving a step to the left or right a few feet can make your picture much better.

Did you know that the Nikon 1 line of cameras bodies can use many of your f/mount DSLR lenses? Using the FT-1 Mount Adapter, you can use many of your legacy lenses on a Nikon 1. This is great if you have a favorite macro lens or super telephoto.

Photographing cats or dogs with a flash can cause green/yellow eyes, which are similar to the red-eye seen in humans. To avoid this, use some of the same techniques you use to avoid red-eye, such as bouncing a Speedlight or increasing the light in the room you’re shooting in.

Always bring out your camera when family or friends gather together. Even if it is not a big holiday celebration. You never know when the kids will do something cute that you’ll want to capture and if you’re busy searching for the camera you may miss the moment.

A great way to remember your trips or special events is by making a photo book. There are many websites that allow you to upload your images and easily design a photo book, complete with captions, as well as photo labs, and at the photo department of larger stores. It's a fun way to share your photographic experiences with friends.

If you’re going out with the intention of photographing a specific type of animal, do a little quick research before you head out. Knowing their habits can give you an edge when it comes to getting great photographs.

If you’re using a GPS-enabled COOLPIX digital camera and are on vacation and not sure where to go next, check out the POI (Points of Interest) feature which will let you know of landmarks that are nearby to your location.

To get the starburst effect you often see in photos, use the smallest aperture possible on your camera (this is usually f/16 or f/22) and shoot towards the sun. Shooting towards the sun will cause you to see flare in an image sometimes but this can add interest to your image. Shoot a bunch of frames—capturing the starburst with and without flare.

If you’re taking really important photos that you won’t be able to recreate, bracket your exposures to ensure the photos look great. Most Nikon digital cameras have an exposure-bracketing mode that you can set. It is faster if you let the camera do the bracketing, instead of you having to snap a photo, change the exposure, snap another frame, change it again, and snap a new frame.

When shooting video of an event, add interviews for a unique viewpoint. Shooting a birthday party—talk to the birthday boy or girl; shooting your kids sport—interview them or the coach—at a wedding—ask the bride and groom to comment.

When shooting food, simple compositions are always better. Zoom into the dish so you don’t capture the table, or zoom tighter so you don’t even see the plate. If you’re taking a shot of your meal at a restaurant, move some of the cutlery or glassware out of the frame for a better shot. It will only take you a moment to do so.

Protect your DSLR lenses. Get a good UV, Skylight or Neutral Clear filter for the front of every lens. This will help protect the expensive front piece of glass in your lens. When you get in dirty or rainy conditions, you'll be wiping the filter clear instead of risking the front element.

When shooting a portrait of a person, even if it's a quick shot, don’t place them against a wall, even if they place themselves there. Its natural for people to back up against a wall for a picture, but that usually isn’t the most flattering way to shoot a portrait. Unless you specifically want to shoot right against a wall for creative reasons, politely ask them to take a few steps forward or follow you to where you want to place them in a scene.

When shooting in bright sand or snow, experiment with the exposure compensation settings (the +/- button) on your camera. Set it for +1 to make the image brighter, which often will make sand or snow look better.

Change your white balance during a sunrise or sunset. Take your camera off auto white balance and switch to Cloudy or Shady white balance. This will add more strength to the reds, oranges and yellows. Auto White Balance tries to keep colors neutral.

Convenient telephoto coverage with Vibration Reduction (VR)

The Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED is an ideal telephoto zoom lens for those seeking a lightweight all-in-one lens or a companion lens for the 18-55mm kit lens that came with their camera. Vibration Reduction (VR) significantly reduces camera shake throughout the entire focal length, making sharp telephoto shots substantially easier to achieve. An ideal lens for sports, people and school events, this lens provides clear images with less blur.

Stunning views of your world

Nikon-quality images every time

The AF-S DX VR Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED is an advanced lens that pushes your DX-format D-SLR to peak performance. A host of Nikon lens technologies offer greater shooting opportunities, even in trying conditions, so you can capture images you never imagined possible.

*Based on CIPA Standard. This value is achieved when: DX-format lenses are attached to a DX-format digital SLR camera and zoom lenses are set at the maximum telephoto position.

Vibration Reduction

A Nikon in-lens technology that improves image stability by automatically compensating for camera shake. Lenses that offer VR will feature the abbreviation VR on the lens barrel.

An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

A-M

A-M stands for Auto-Manual Mode. Thanks to a mechanism incorporated in the lens barrel, smooth focusing operation in Manual focus mode is realized in the same way as users have become accustomed to with conventional manual-focus lenses by adding an appropriate torque to the focus ring.

IF Lens

A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Based on CIPA Standard. This value is achieved when: DX-format lenses are attached to a DX-format digital SLR camera and zoom lenses are set at the maximum telephoto position.

Light, compact and very usable for a very reasonable price.
I'll preface this review by detailing what this lens isn't:
- It obviously isn't on par with Nikon's top-of-the-line lenses in terms of build quality and clarity, and obviously shouldn't be reviewed as such.
- It isn't the best option when you need ultra-fast focusing speeds for action shots.
- It isn't terribly responsive in low lighting.
- It isn't going to impress a photographer who expects miracles from it.
However, what it is:
- It is extremely lightweight and, even at 200mm, stays relatively compact.
- It is capable of producing surprisingly sharp photos (wide angle and close-up) of still subjects when given enough light.
- It is very respectable for portraits and gives a nice, dreamy bokeh.
- It is a quality lens equipped with a very usable VR at an extremely affordable price.
I have an assortment of lenses at my disposal, so I won't go so far as to say this is one that I rely on frequently or use as a daily walk-around. But, don't get me wrong, if you are relatively new to photography and/or don't have much of a lens budget to play around with, this would make a fine lens for most general use. I do use mine and haven't been disappointed with the quality of the shots I get from it.
I don't use it constantly and so I can't attest to its ability to take a beating, but with several thousand shots through mine, I don't have any reason to believe a malfunction is lurking around the corner. The VR still works great when I want to use it, the AF is still as responsive as it was when I got it new, and the focus/zoom rings are still light and smooth.
Again, don't expect miracles from it and you won't be disappointed with it. Trust me, you can spend ten times as much on a lens and you still won't get miracles, especially if you don't have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of photography itself. Once you learn how your camera actually works, and the role lenses play in getting the perfect shot, you can take an 'entry-level' lens like this one and get some pretty amazing photographs with it.

you get what you pay for
Being a long time enthusiast, I bought this lens for two reasons, as a supplement to use before going to FX and to just try a low end (cheap) lens from Nikon. It didn't take long to realize the results reflect it. The lens is not very sharp at full zoom and has noticeable distortion. It is average at best on the other end. The lens performs at an acceptable rate for basic day to day shots, but for quality and critical photography one needs to pay the price.
October 9, 2012

Definitely a bright light lens, but detail is promising.
I tried this at home at night after I bought it, and it has a hard time focusing in low light, but it will be AMAZING in bright light situations. I still have my basic 18-55 that works a little faster in the low light shots, and I'll probably be using a tripod for anything shot at night, but I do like this lens!
October 1, 2012

It has great features
I use it mostly for Nature pics but some times i use it for sports and it is really an amazing piece of work.
April 27, 2012

Great Cheap Lens!
I bought this lens as a hold over for myself until I would be able to get a 70-200 f/2.8 lens, but I have had this lens for two years and still haven't moved a finger for the 70-200. Although it obviously doesn't hold a candle to the legendary focal range, it does an extremely good job as my hold over. I'm very impressed with it.
Although you obviously can't expect this to be incredible for indoor, dark lightings, the VR can do a really great job. Its small form allows it to be carried easily in a nice small camera bag while still on the camera.
Even though I would of course rather have the 70-200, there is definitely a kind of pride that the user of the 55-200 holds. Saying that the photo is not about the lens, but the shooter, and being able to prove that for about $150-$250 is pretty darn cool. Very impressive performance to price ratio.
Buy this lens! Even if it's just a hold over ;)
March 6, 2012

let the photos speak for themselves....
this was a lens that came with a package deal at Best Buy. This lens works great. I'll post pics from 55mm all the way to 200mm so you can see what an amateur can do with this lens.

Overall Review: UNTOUCHED PHOTOS
I have had this lens for almost a year now, and there is definitely a lot I can say about it. Pros: I love the zoom. The detail this lens captures is absolutely amazing. It is perfect for daylight photos, you will have absolutely amazing results. However, once it hits night time, the photos range from good to bad (personally I am a no flash person though). So yes, wonderfully precise and accurate photos, no detected vignetting. However, the cons are that it is a little on the heavy side, and just one weak after buying it I turned the delicate zoom a little too hard and actually broke the lens all together. It just snapped and I couldn't take any more photos, 1 WEEK after. I got it fixed for $20 thank god, and still have used it without an issue until now. So overall I really do think it is a great lens, almost professional with great zoom. Amazing for still life, animals, landscapes, and profiles. CANNOT GET UP CLOSE it will not focus, you need to step back at least 20 feet. Last but not least, zoom is audible but not "loud".

Excellent low-price lens for everyday photography
I've been using this lens for more than a year, and It serves me well. Auto focus is not that fast, since it's using bundled servo, but if you're using manual focusing, you won't be disappointed. 4 stars because of slow auto-focus. Everything else -> 5.0

I love my new lens! I'm just a recreational photographer but I really wanted this lens and I'm so glad I got it. I have a d3000 and they work great together. Awesome product.
October 12, 2011

AWESOME
Great lens, we tried the non VR lens and at a distance very blurry. We returned the non VR and got this one. Worked perfectly right out of the box. Very easy to use. This lens is worth the extra $...
October 6, 2011

Quality and Value for the Price
This review is about model 2166 with the VR feature, not the older version 2156.
I bought this lens as part of a kit when I bought my D5100. That turned out to be the right decision and I am very happy with the lens. I have a set of autofocus lenses from earlier experiences with Nikon cameras. They certainly work well with the D5100. But the new lineup of lens – such as this one – are so improved that this lens outperforms the others. The EG and VR features are sterling features. Comparing this lens with other, similar zoom lens, one sees how small and compact it is; a definite plus for carrying around all day and for packing in suitcases. If you bought the 18-55 mm lens, then you will notice both are about the same length when zoomed to 55 mm.
The lens is nicely matched with the D5100. Siting on my deck, getting acquainted with the two, I was able to do pin-point focus of a bird without the camera’s computer being distracted by tree limbs and foliage. The picture came out so well that I entered it in a photo contest. Nikon did a super job of giving us a quality lens at low price, so that we can enjoy inexpensive and quality photography.
Here are two pictures to show the extent of the zoom of the lens. Both were taken at the same time and place, about four miles from Grand Teton Mountain. One is at 55 mm, the other at 200 mm.
The lens works best for outdoor pictures when the zoom has ample space and light to work. I carry it and the 18-55 mm lens (either one fits nicely in my outdoor shirt pocket). I get most pictures from the 55-200 mm. I use the 18-55 mm for indoor photography and for close ups. From time to time the pictures may seem grainy. That can be fixed by changing the ISO to lower numbers, making best use of the scene settings, choosing the right focus method, and turning on the flash (even outdoors!) since zooms require more light.
Best features: Value and quality for the price. Compact size.
Worst features: No distance makers on the barrel. I miss this feature doing manual focus.
Recommended accessories: If you want to get a filter to protect the lens and improve colors, then check the camera’s manual to find those filters compatible with the camera’s computer.

Wonderful 2nd Lense
I use this for my nature/wildlife photos and find it easy to use with very good results.
Great for close up shots as well.
September 17, 2011

Great Addition to my D60
I own a Nikon D60 with standard 18-55mm VR lens and have recently purchased this 55-200mm for outdoor photography/concerts. It's a wonderful addition to my camera bag letting you get in close for perfect shots. The focus is very quick compared to the 18-55mm I have become used to. It has a very sturdy lens and housing that doesn't have any unwanted movement than some of the lesser quality I have handled.
September 17, 2011

A must have for any new kid on the block.
I bought this lens the day after I got my first kit. A little to quickly maybe, but I got lucky. I am young and really don't have a fortune to get the crazy lens that I would like. While looking for lens that I could possibly afford, I stumbled upon this one. It looked to good to be true. Turns out that it is one of the all around best lens they sell, due to cost and bang for you buck. I was so eager to buy something with some zoom because of the wide angle on the 18-55mm in the kit. I honestly thought after getting it I would be switching out lens to get every thing in. Wrong! The 55mm is a great start, just take a few steps back to adjust if needed. Also if your lazy like me you don't want to move around the yard at the family BBQ to get pictures of every one... Perfect! Find a nice spot set up camp (get a drink and some food) and shoot away. You will get the affect that you will were every where as long as you move every once and a long time. This lens is not for group photos, but if you have time to arrange a photo change the lens while you boss people around. Great bokeh for portraits, perfect for the lazy family photographer, VR makes taking close up sports shots a snap, and everything else an amateur photographer might shoot. Buy it for your second lens. TRUST ME!
July 26, 2011

Good
I love my new lense, my only wish... to zoom in further, but I could have spent the extra money for it. The vibration reduction is GREAT on this lense. I shot over 1200 pics with my new lense last week on my honeymoon and they turned out GREAT!
July 25, 2011

Fantastic zoom lens
I have taken nearly 50,000 photos using this zoom. Other than really fast motion, the VR (Vibration Reduction) is great. Any where from 85%-90% of those photos came out quite clear. Yes, in close quarters, I would recommend an 18mm-55mm. But elsewhere, this is the lens I use the most. I bought zoom 2 years after I bought my D-40, and wish I had found it sooner. My travels have never been the same. Thank you Nikon.
July 22, 2011

excellent close up view.
i took a picture of a hummingbird outside my window 10 feet away and the pic looked like i was right next to the hummingbird
July 11, 2011

OK starter lens
If I had it to do over, I'd have passed on this lens. It's slow to focus and on the soft side.
July 7, 2011

The zoom is great from any distance
Love this Lens. It's so small and not much bigger than the 18-55 that came with the camara. My old Cannon Rebel larger lense is very big and heavy! I'm very pleased with my Nikon Lens and D5100 camara
June 30, 2011

JUST WHAT I NEEDED
THIS LENS COMPLETES MY D3100 CAMERA. I JUST ADOPTED PHOTOGRAPHY AS A HOBBY AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THE QUALITY OF MY PICTURES. THIS LENS ALLOWS ME TO GET CLOSE ACTION WHEN MY KIDS ARE PLAYING SPORTS. THANKS NIKON
June 29, 2011

GREAT LENS
I USE THIS LENS AS MY EVERYDAY LENS AND HAVE GOTTEN VERY GOOD RESULTS FROM IT WITH JUST ABOUT ANY SUBJECT. CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS. I THINK YOU WOULD BE VERY HAPPY WITH IT.

Hello,Wondering which Nikkor lens would be best for kids sport activities (55-200mm or 55-300mm)?I own Nikon D60 with 18-55mm VR, SB-400 and just placed an order for Nikkor 35mm F1.8 lens, now just need to get the right zoom.Any idea on which Nikkor lens would focus faster or are they the both the same (55-200mm or 55-300mm)?55-200mm has a perfect price but 55-300mm seems to be better quality built.I am on a budget so please do not suggest a 70-200mm F2.8 VR for sports pictures, I love it but can't afford it.

Thank you for any feedback,

Vadim
